Herb Basics: Easy Grow Healing Herbs

Tips for the Beginner

By The Herb Companion staff

| May/June 2003

The following healing herbs are easy to grow and readily available. Plant them in a site that gets at least six hours of full sun daily during the growing season. For the first month after planting, water the herbs as often as needed to prevent wilting. After that, water them only during prolonged dry spells (unless you live in a very dry climate).

After you harvest the herbs, dry them for use in recipes you’ll find throughout The Herb Companion.
